Showing ordinances that apply to Paloma Creek, TX
Paloma Creek is an unincorporated community (population 3,177) in Denton County, Texas. Because Paloma Creek is not an incorporated city, it does not have its own municipal code. Instead, Denton County ordinances apply directly to properties here. The bin placement rules rules below are the ones that govern your area.
Denton County has no ordinance regulating trash bin placement for collection day in unincorporated areas. Bin placement requirements are determined by the individual private waste hauler contract and any applicable HOA CC&Rs. The county does not specify setback distances from the curb, placement timing, or retrieval deadlines. Master-planned communities throughout Denton County commonly impose same-day retrieval requirements and specific bin positioning standards through their HOA rules.
In unincorporated Denton County, there is no county regulation governing where trash bins should be placed for collection, how far from the road or curb, when they should be set out, or when they must be retrieved. These details are governed entirely by the service agreement between the property owner and their private waste hauler. Most haulers require bins to be placed within three feet of the curb or road edge by 7:00 AM on collection day, with lids closed and bins facing the road. HOA communities in Denton County — which account for the majority of newer residential development — typically add requirements beyond the hauler contract: same-day retrieval by a specified evening hour (commonly 9:00 PM), bins stored behind the front building line or in screened enclosures when not set out for collection, and prohibitions on storing bins in front yards or visible from the street. Some upscale communities in the Flower Mound, Lantana, and Argyle areas require permanent screened enclosures for bins.
No county-level bin placement violations exist. Private haulers may skip collection if bins are improperly placed or inaccessible. HOA violations for bin placement or timing are enforced through the associations process, with fines typically ranging from $25 to $100 per occurrence after notice.
